an ignore button specific to compo entry posts.
right now, please. i cannot begin to express the depth of my loathing for this tiresome challenge, which has already saturated the board to the point that several people have made note of it for the past couple of weeks.

people from more than two places post here, and many of those who live in the uk and the us are aware of that.

'Cock rating'
Well now that I have your attention...
This is probably a right pain in the ass to implement, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway.

I would like to see each user given three votes to call another user a 'cock' Then you can set your own personal 'cock threshold' to block out users who have been called a cock by x number of people.

Every Monday, the points reset to zero, then everyone can vote again, but the numbers don't kick in til Tuesday, so one day a week you see everyone posting, which lets you judge if people are no longer a cock. But why would people change week to week? Because it tells them right next to their name 'x people think you're a cock'

Trolls will usually get bored if they're being ignored by enough people, so the only way for them to annoy more people, is to be less annoying for a while so that they get fewer cock votes. If/when they kick off again, their votes will go up again etc

Like I said, it'll be a pain in the ass to implement and is probably open to abuse through multiple accounts (voting only available to users of longer than 6 months?), but I'm just the idea man, that's not really my department :)
Of course it also raises issues of the masses policing/judging individuals, but now I'm just rambling.
Oh and I didn't think I'd ever write cock so much in a single post.


Cock.

Profile
Top 10 posts should be displayed as once you've built up 5 good ones, it's hard to tell whether people liked anything else.

Also top 10 images.

Serious one.
When I click the little paper icon next to any reply post, it only displays that reply and any beneath it. It would be nice to see the whole thread, so I know what the reply was to. Anchors could ensure the page loads at the right position.

Also, attempting to view old replies to QOTWs does the same - nothing shows up. It would be nice to see if anyone has replied to my replies, after the question is closed.
( Digeridude Lord Wellington's Beef Trapeze, Thu 16 Oct 2008, 21:07, 3 replies, latest was 16 years ago)

I DEMAND FEATURES
- A popular page for currently ongoing QOTWs, like what the image challenge has.
- When a QOTW/Image challenge has finished, don't just show the however-many-there-are most popular ones, rearrange them all in order of how many votes they got, as I'm sure there are good stories and pictures that don't quite make it onto the popular page.
- Make the search feature more user friendly.
- Have a "most popular posts of all time" feature for /board, /talk and /links.
- Ban everyone whose username begins with 'X', 'Z', or a 'Q' not followed by a 'U' because they're being tricky.
- When I log in I want The Boys Are Back In Town by Thin Lizzy played.
- Achievement points.
- All Islamic holidays to be displayed prominently on the calendar, and anyone who doesn't sign up for them killed.
- The FAQ should include the question "Who you gonna call?" with the answer being, of course, "Ghostbusters!"
- If the newsletter can't be written for some reason it should be left for the /talk board to do.
- A b3ta branded range of personal hygene products.

I'll post more when I think of them.

Small URL error

OK, so /All has been scrapped on QotW by the looks of it...

Would it be possible to introduce a scheme similar to the image challenge whereby a 'or see the popular posts' section can be introduced?

pretty please?

b3ta, could you please tell youtube to put a stop button on their videos?
I have a slow connection and sometimes on the links board a video turns out to be shit and I have to refresh the page to stop it downloading.

They won't listen to the comments I post so I was hoping you could tell them off for me.

Yunno how all our posts are listed in our profile?
This is very good, I like it.

But can you make it so that when I click a reply that's been made to someone else's post it goes to the first post with all the replies, not just the single reply? Coz it's a bit of a pain in the arse looking for the original post to put it in context sometimes.

I'll give you a cake if you do :)

QOTW Bug....
Grabbing the ID of a reply to a QOTW (easily to find by clicking on 'I Like This's Pop Up), and use that ID as a reply's ID, you can make nested replys.

See this one for an example.

Also, 'reply' should go on the end, for consistency's sake.

Stats
Can we have a stats thing with graphs and such? Mainly because I'd like to visualise how much the posts drop during drivetime. From this, we can learn how long it takes the average B3tan to commute home from work, have a shower, have their tea and then sit down at their computer.

I'm sure it's been suggested before,
but I tried a search of 'ignore function' on the qotw and didn't see it.

Please can you fix it so that if we have someone on ignore, we don't see their posts on the popular pages? When I want to ignore someone, I want to ignore them totally. It's quite hard to provoke me into ignoring someone, so in order for me to have done it they have to be a total wankspleen that I don't want to see at all.

Delete thread deletion
I'm sure this has been suggested plenty, but why do all sub-threads attached to a deleted thread get deleted too?
Can't you just replace the deleted text or image with the words "THREAD DELETED BY HAMTOUCHER" and keep all the sub-threads intact? Please?
( owensanity, Wed 8 Oct 2008, 13:10, 1 reply, 16 years ago)

I'm sure I've suggested this before.
But how about when someone posts a picture on /board they are required to "Tag" their image for the search option.
There's a few times I've wanted to search for a picture and had to try to remember words from the original post to find it.
If we tagged our images with simple words like "cat", "cdc" etc it would help with searching.
